On the third level of the hall, there are six seats on each side on the left and right.
Hua Tiantu led Gui Wujiu to the first seat on the right side and said: "The six boats went on patrol, and the distances were different. The humble faction also calculated the departure time in advance according to the distance of the journey, in order to return at the same time. I didn't expect it to be a little short in the end, thank you
Become a fellow Taoist in a moment."
It’s okay to blame nothing and laugh.
In fact, he had already guessed that the problem was mostly with him. It seemed that he was not the only outsider invited. Presumably, he and Hua Tiantu returned very happily after a brief exchange, so they returned first before the rest of the people.
.
After Hua Tiantu finished explaining, he walked more than ten steps east of the seat and found a green-backed chair in the darkness to sit on.
Only then did Gui Wujiu realize that there were twelve inconspicuous seats on both sides of the main hall. Seeing that Hua Tiantu was sitting at the fourth seat on the left, judging from his identity, these twenty-four people seemed to be the right ones.
The twenty-four members of the Lotus Lotus Sect are walking together.
After a while, Gu Jinting also returned to the hall and sat down at the ninth seat on the right.
Although there was only one guest, Gui Wujiu, the Liantai Sect did not neglect him. Fair ladies holding trays, tea cups, wine cups and fruit baskets filed in, offering various treasures.
Within an hour, other guests entered the hall one after another, and the eleven empty seats were filled one after another.
These eleven people are all at the first level of the Golden Core Realm.
Among them, the first five people, Gui Wugui, have different qi and finesse, and their methods are as separated as a ginseng merchant. At a glance, it is obvious that people from all over the world gather in one place.
As for the six people sitting across from each other, although their clothes and styles are different, their appearance and demeanor are also not similar. However, the flow of breath can clearly see the connection between them.
Gui Wujiu knew in his heart that the six people sitting across from him must be monks from the Liantai Sect. As for his group, it was no surprise that they were all mercenaries invited by the Liantai Sect.
Gui Wujiu was pouring himself a glass of wine, looking like he was aloof from others. When others saw his behavior, they wouldn't be able to approach him easily.
However, Gui Wujiu actually sees in six directions and hears in all directions. The scene in front of him is actually in his heart.
For example, right now, two people were focusing their attention on him, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were extremely curious about themselves.
One of them is the one sitting under Gui Wu Guo. This person has a sallow face and is wearing a turban. He holds a string of pearls in his right hand and plays with them rhythmically. It’s just that he seems to be looking left and right, but in fact he has two eyes.
The light never left Gui Wujia, and he secretly released his energy machine to explore.
Although this person concealed his changes in mood very well, Gui Wujiu still sensed this person's hostility with his keen spiritual sense.
But this is because Gui Wujiu's aura has changed to an incredible level. Even if Hua Tiantu and Gu Jinting came to Gui Wujiu again, they would not feel any difference in his aura from a few days ago.
; But in the eyes of others, it is difficult to tell at a glance whether there is no blame or the possibility of breaking through the "knowledge and stopping" level.
In the blink of an eye, it changes and remains unchanged. It is extremely mysterious.
The other person is the person sitting opposite Gui Wujiu. This person is slightly fat, with fair skin, and a graceful demeanor. He wears a king's crown, a light gold brocade Taoist robe, a jade belt, and a purple ribbon hanging down his waist.
He had a smile on his face and seemed eager to give it a try. As soon as he felt his attention, he would immediately make a friendship.
At this time, a clear and melodious bell rang, and a red cloud seemed to fall outside the main entrance of the hall. The red cloud quickly dissipated, revealing a magnificent rocking boat, slowly stopping at a height of more than ten feet above the ground. Then the rocking boat ramp
There are seven colorful strips of white, red, blue, green, purple, yellow and black, each more than a foot wide. Two by two, they fall to the ground and form an arc, like an inverted rainbow.
Then a person grew lotuses step by step, and slowly fell down in the silk ribbon about a foot wide. It was a middle-aged Taoist with a jade ruler. Behind him were four maids, each holding a five-bright fan and a yellow scarf umbrella, closely following him.
back.
Gui Wujiu's heart moved. This person was so grand. Naturally, he didn't do it for the guests who were invited here. It was expected that the Liantai Sect would not be so shallow. So this person has always been like this.
There was some speculation about this person's identity at the moment.
The middle-aged Taoist strode forward without squinting as he sat down on the main seat. Although he was in the golden elixir realm, the elixir energy surged and changed on its own, just like the source of living water. He was a second-level golden elixir realm monk who couldn't understand it.
.
Although all the guests did not know what position this person held in the Liantai Sect, the aura of the second level of the Golden Core was unmistakable. How dare they make any mistake in front of the future Master Yuanying, they all stood up and bowed their hands.
The middle-aged Taoist pressed his hands and said warmly: "I am Ming Haoxuan, the head of Daning Palace of Liantai Sect. Fellow Taoists, please be polite."
After acquitting themselves, the six of them did not know what the title of "Head of Daning Palace" was. But they couldn't help but think of the golden palace in the middle of the boat when they looked down, with a huge stone erected in front of it.
It is in the book that there are three characters "Da Ning Palace".
As everyone knows, the Liantai Sect has a total of three Yuanying Masters, including the head master and two guardian elders. They are also considered to be among the most powerful among third-class sects.
When dealing with large and small matters, Master Yuanying naturally cannot move lightly.
Then this so-called "Head of Daning Palace" Ming Haoxuan, the future Master of Yuanying. Since he takes the Great Hall as his job title, he is probably the candidate to be the next head of the Liantai Sect.
Ming Haoxuan is a quick-tongued and resolute person. He did not show politeness to others and said straightforwardly: "Fellow fellow Taoists, I believe that all the junior disciples have explained clearly the matters that need to be explained. Ming still wants to ask one last question. Everyone.
Are you determined to go to Huanghai and your party and will never regret it?"
Gui Wu Guo Several people stood up one after another and expressed that they had no regrets for their words.
Ming Haoxuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is one more thing I need to explain to you. After the trip, your identities are our Liantai Sect monks. Do you understand?"
Gui Wujiu sneered in his heart. Such an explanation was what he had expected and there was nothing strange about it. On the contrary, the other five people looked at each other with suspicion. However, this was not a big deal, not to mention the name of a third-class sect.
Going out is much louder than practicing as a casual practitioner.
After a slight hesitation, everyone responded one after another.
The plan was decided, Ming Haoxuan chuckled and waved his hand towards the six seats at the bottom on the left.
The six Golden Elixir cultivators received Ming Haoxuan's signal and raised their hands and sleeves. Each took out hundreds of wooden boxes, stacked them into six one-foot-high mounds, corresponding to each other, and floated towards Gui Wujiu's side.
flying over.
The fat Taoist sitting opposite Gui Wujiu, who was wearing a royal crown, held his chin and thought for a moment, then took out fifty wooden boxes, totaling one hundred and fifty, and placed them on the table in front of Gui Wujiu.
The five people under the fat Taoist had colorful and brilliant faces. Two of them had hesitant expressions on their faces, as if they were hesitating whether to add more weight in the same manner.
The fat Taoist hurriedly smiled and said: "Yuan is somewhat wealthy, and by the way, seeing how kind this fellow Taoist is, he volunteered to pay a little more. It's up to the juniors to do whatever they want."
The person he refers to as "kind-faced" is naturally blameless.
The other five people then got off the slope and returned to their seats. After all, no one's jade was blown by the strong wind.
But for Gui Wujiu, this Taoist Yuan's actions caused trouble for nothing.
Originally, only the one next to him was secretly hostile to him. Now that there are fifty boxes of jade, the five people below him all have burning eyes, jealousy and hatred, as if they are wondering why such a good thing did not happen to them.
At this time, Ming Haoxuan said again: "The double amount of jade given in advance is for ten years. From now on, it will be settled every ten years as usual. If you have the intention to return after ten years, the contract will be terminated naturally.
."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ming Haoxuan stood up and said: "Then today's meeting will be dismissed first. The Liantai Sect will gather everyone to prepare the post. It may take at least three days, or as many as five days, to assemble and go to Huanghai. You must recharge your batteries.
"
Just when everyone stood up at the same time and were about to leave, a loud shout like a bell came from outside the hall: "Wait a minute!"
Then the eyes of everyone in the hall were blurred, and they saw a gray shadow flashing very quickly into the middle of the hall. Before he could stand still, he spat out every word very clearly: "Senior Brother Ming may have not considered it.
How can things be such a child's play?"
After standing firm, what came into view was a gray-faced Taoist dressed in shackles. He was tall and muscular. Although he called Ming Haoxuan his senior brother, his face seemed to be older than Ming Haoxuan's.
There is a hint of silver in the sideburns and hair.
However, the person's attire was not the focus of attention of the people in the hall. The aura of this gray-faced Taoist circulated like foam flying in boiling water, and it was so dynamic that it dazzled everyone's ears and eyes.
This person actually has the same skills as Ming Haoxuan, and he is also at the second level of Jindan.
Gui Wujiu and the other six people's thoughts suddenly changed. Even if this person's strategy was very different from that of his senior brother, there was no reason to criticize him directly in front of outsiders. It can be seen that this person and Ming Haoxuan were in conflict.
It was so intense that it almost reached the point of fighting over open flames.
In addition, both of them were quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators, and everyone immediately thought of the struggle for power within the sect.
What everyone guessed is true. This person's name is Kang Taobi, and he and Ming Haoxuan are the only two people in the Liantai Sect who are expected to break through to the Nascent Soul. It's just that his personality is intolerant, his behavior is impatient, and his actions are not as good as Ming Hao's.
Xuan Guo was meticulous. In the competition to take charge of the next generation of sects, the three Yuanying masters unanimously chose Ming Haoxuan.
From then on, Kang Taobi was always the first to speak out against anything Ming Haoxuan advocated, no matter whether it was right or wrong.
Ming Haoxuan said calmly: "Since the six junior brothers are willing to pay their own remuneration and find someone to do this for them, why should junior brother Kang cause trouble?"
Kang Taobei snorted and said: "Shang Zong is not someone who can be bullied easily. Please note that this time the leader of Shang Zong is "Piaomiaozi" Taoist Yu. This old man has a vicious eye, and he has always disliked our Liantai Sect.
.If he takes action at that time, the "Liantai Sect" monks disguised as these wild fishes in front of him will be exposed immediately."
Kang Tao made harsh remarks, but as soon as he said them, he was blameless and offended the other six people.
In fact, except for Gui Wu Guo, a few people, even if they are slightly inferior to the third-level sect disciples, are still outstanding in casual cultivation, otherwise the Liantai Sect would not be noticed by all walks of life.
However, Kang Taobei's words were purely to provoke trouble, and Ming Haoxuan also knew it. He immediately asked silently: "What should I do in accordance with Junior Brother Kang's opinion?"
Kang Taobei laughed loudly and said loudly: "Although Senior Brother Ming acted inappropriately, after all the hard work of all Junior Brothers, it is not easy to completely overthrow it. According to Kang, there is still something that can be remedied."
His fierce eyes wandered back and forth over the six Gui Wujiu people, and he said extremely domineeringly: "Please ask each of these six to receive the next palm. If you can catch it, you will be qualified to act for our Liantai Sect. If
If you can't, please get out of here immediately, as this will leave a lot of jade for the six junior brothers."
